You speaka da English?
Have been thinking about how many misspellings there are on internet postings, blogs, sites.
Used to be, you learned correct usage from seeing it, reading books with it, then having that imprinted. Wondering if now, seeing so many errors, they'll be imprinted on the Cow's brain, so that eventually everyone will see and spell things wrong, just because that's how they've been reading it.
Moo!

As a copy editor, I feel your pain.
It's funny isn't it how phrases such as "reign of terror" are so often spelled "rein"...and another one is the colloquialism "won't faze me" written as "phase."
What scares me is seeing it so often it starts to look "right."
Soft moo to you, Miss Copy Editor!
This point is really mute, when you think about it. Most people think their grammar is peachy king, and that you're engaging in gorilla warfare when you try to correct them. Astonishing.
hahahah!
mute point, hehehe!
gorilla...hahahah!
You are so funny!
Moo!
How 'bout "rain of terror"? That's a very frightening situation!
Frightening, indeed.
In fact, Cow senses reigndrops falling on her Topiary already...
Moo!
or the fact that we get in the habit from texting/otherwise and continue to be lazy, carrying our bad habits over into other things...
Yes....Cow's bad habits trail like Topiary behind her...
oh, wait a minute, that IS topiary!
Moo!
